Gertrude Stein
The head-lines which do not head anything they simply replace something but they do not make anything.
Gertrude Stein
Literature - creative literature - unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.
Gertrude Stein
Explanations are clear but since no one to whom a thing is explained can connect the explanations with what is really clear, therefore clear explanations are not clear.
Gertrude Stein
History takes time. History makes memory.
Gertrude Stein
There is a difference between twenty-nine and thirty. When you are twenty-nine it can be the beginning of everything. When you are thirty it can be the end of everything.
